Openings In
Welfare Work
To Graduates
Sociology majors will have an
opportunity to take an examina-tion
for positions in the social
welfare fields on March 19 at the
Minnesota County Welfare Merit
System office. There are positions
open for students with a B.A.
degree under the title of Case-worker
I. Those who pass the ex-amination
would be qualified for
a beginning salary of $276 to
$375 in this field.
According to the welfare office,
chances for advancement in the
field are regular and opportunities
are wide open especially for those
who take additional graduate
work as they gain experience.
These positions are under Civil
Service.
Interested students should write
for application blanks for the ex-am
to Merit System Supervisor,
117 University Avenue, St. Paul 1,
Minnesota. Applications for this
exam and other higher level exams
which are being given, will be ac-cepted
by the office until March
11.
Junior Class
Chooses Cal
As Play Lead
Tryouts for the junior class
play, King Oedipus, to be given
April 15 were held last Tuesday
evening. Cal Peterson was selected
for the lead role of Oedipus.
Behind-the-scenes work falls on
John P. Woods, instructor of Eng-lish,
who is directing the play, Les
Funk, who is designing scenery,
Harold Richardson and Gloria
Svendsen, working with advertis-ing,
Phil Caldeen and Dave John-son,
in charge of staging, and
Donn Goss, handling finances.
King Oedipus, considered by
critics as one of the finest of its
kind, is "one more innovation to
the long list of new, good things
for Bethel this year" according to
Phil Caldeen and Dave Johnson.
"We want to make this the best
production Bethel has ever seen,"
affirmed Dave and Phil, "but
there's lots to be done and only
two months in which to do it. If
there are any who would like to
help on stage crew or similar
work, please see us.

OFFICIAL BULLETIN
A plan for student eligibility
for choir tours, debate, editors and
business managers of publications,
class officers, Student Senate cab-inet,
and Christian activities in-volving
absence from classes, will
be presented for approval to the
Student Senate and the faculty
next Tuesday.
Requirements include a "C"
average and enrollment for no less
than 10 hours of academic work.
Details Finished
For Senior Concert
All of the last minute details have been taken care of for the pre-sentation
of "The Carillon Singers" at the annual senior class concert
scheduled for March 5, 8 p.m. Under the direction of Edith Norberg,
the singers will feature Lorraine King, harpist, and Adelyne Johnson,
contralto.
"The admission is a steal at 75
cents per ticket," claimed Bailey
Anderson, senior in charge of the
concert's committee.
Posters have been hung in sev-eral
locations on campus, ticket
sellers have been designated, and
even letters have been mailed to
Twin City churches inviting
them, as well as neighboring col-leges,
to take advantage of the
concert.
The singers recently won the
Chicagoland Music Festival for the
second time and have done out-standing
radio and television work
as well. Lorraine King is harpist
with the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra and Adelyne Johnson
has appeared as soloist with the
symphony.
"With all the outstanding talent
listed for the concert," says Mar-ilyn
Anderson, senior on the com-mittee,
"we think it'll be one of
the greatest senior concerts Bethel
has ever had!"
Shown above, displaying advertising posters for concert, are seniors Marilyn Anderson
and Bailey Anderson. The posters were designed by two other seniors, Barbara Olander and Lawrence
Van Heerden.

The Next Student President
In all her history Bethel has never had a college senior as president
of the student body. Maybe this has been accidental—maybe deliberate.
Nevertheless, it's almost time for student elections, and it would be
another '54-'55 innovation if a college junior were elected to be president
for next year.
Maybe some have felt that only seminary students should be elect-ed
because they would tend to cultivate a greater spiritual atmosphere.
Actually, there are college students who bear as much spiritual impact
to the college body as any seminary student.
It could be that the previous presidents just happened to be sem-inary
students too. That's fine! It's not wrong to have seminary leaders
for college students, but it just might be better to be led by other
members of the undergraduate body if you're in that group. The sem-inary
has its own council, but the Student Senate, the representative
group of the college, is not separate from the seminary.
Perhaps this spring, when elections roll around, we could push one
or two juniors for president and several future seminary students rather
than the opposite.
The Wreck of Oedipus
The junior class play has held auditions for parts, and now the
grueling task of memorization and the application of drama technique
is under way. But a handicap to overcome is the actual production of
the play. Where will they produce it and how ?
Bethel has no auditorium to supply amply the needs presented in
play production. This is not entirely her fault because a suitable audi-torium
is in the offing of a long range program and
just hasn't been acquired yet. But Bethel could do well with some type
of an emergency auditorium to facilitate immediate needs for plays,
concerts, and other student productions.
Just a possibility might be some rennovating in the back part of
the chapel. It surely wouldn't take much expense to convert the platform
back there into a convenient little stage with small wings on either
side with a make-shift curtain. The space would require about. 20 chapel
seats, or less, which are available on the floor level by seats seldom
filled. Maybe some senior class would even donate the expense of
the work as a class project!
"Softies" at Bethel
"We never get off this lousy block."
"Yes," another voice said, "we don't get a chance to really go out
and tell people what we believe. How can we really try our beliefs if—"
A third voice broke in, "We go on gospel teams, but we aren't
on our own; we've still got our group behind us."
"How can we learn to deal with people in front of a group any-way
?"
A number of Bethel students are troubled by this problem and
others like it. How can we grow in faith if we are spoon-fed Christian-ity
? Or is Christianity merely in style ? Are we letting ourselves be
caught up in the Christian current, drifting aimlessly along, not sink-ing
or swimming, just floating?
These are real dangers, and we have to face them as individuals.
In high school and at work we struggled to keep from going with the
ungodly crowd. In our tight little Christian community we get soft
and careless from living with our guard down. How often, for example,
we talk among ourselves in a way we would be ashamed to have out-siders
hear. And how little Christ comes into our conversation. We ac-cept
the standards of the crowd for our studying, our dating, the use
of our time and money.
One thing we can do even while cooped up on this block is to
stand on our own feet morally and spiritually. Then when we get away
again from the shelter of Bethel's walls and face hostility and indiffer-ence,
we will be equipped to stand against the crowd and testify to
our faith with a good conscience.

Things are beginning to look black for many, with only sixteen
days until exams. If I had not the positive attitude about them, I
would really feel guilty about having wasted all my time in "riotous
living."
Yes, I should say that things look good. People might say that
I am a cheat but that is such a strong word—let's say I take tests
with a broad view. (Sometimes my view is so broad that I strain my
neck muscles.) In so doing, I do not wish to make less of my school-mates'
knowledge; I only wish to reveal their intelligence and ability
in my work as well. Now can there be any fairer way?
It also gives my dear schoolmates an opportunity to prove their
"share-it-able-ness." After all, it isn't the help that counts, it's the
grade. And we all want high standards. So a little kindness at the
right question is one step higher up the ladder in the establishment
of character. Then think of 'the invaluable experience we get for filling
out income tax forms. Now can there be any nobler way ?
When I think of those first few weeks at the beginning of school
and how I sweated and toiled . . . brrr. But then I discovered that there
is a sort of silent honor system around here and zoom! My old art of
reading small and upside down print soared back to top form. Now can
there be any handier way ?
Then to my amazement, I discovered some other kids who were
interested in progress just as I was—progress in girls (or fellows as
the case might be), Scrabble, Rook, Pingpong, Coke bottle bowling,
Greco-Roman wrestling, wee hour jabber sessions—the better things
in life. So as the old saying goes, "Old cheaters never die, they just
pass it on." And we're just one big happy family.

Every girl wants to be marriageable. But if she wants a husband
who has high standards for a wife, it takes a lot of consideration and
planning.
It was, of course, hard for me to know what a fellow considers
important about the girl he is going to spend the rest of his life with.
I decided to ask a few of the fellows whom I considered sincere and
thoughtful. I asked them what they wanted their wife to be, and what
would attract them to "the girl." They answered along the same general
lines.
"She must have a sense of humor," one fellow said. "When you live
with a woman for fifty years, more or less, even less, she must have
a sense of humor."
Anothei fellow added that besides being able to joke, she must
know when to talk seriously, too. She must be one you can talk to
without feeling uneasy.
They all wanted her to be witty, but she should use her wit
considerately. She should be well-read so that she could talk intelligently
about a variety of topics. None of the fellows wanted a female Michael-angelo.
This is only a small phase of what a fellow expects in a wife, but
doesn't this show us what our attitude should be when we meet "the
fellow ?" Instead of getting upset wondering when he will pay some
attention to us, or if he is the one the Lord has for us, let's devote our
thoughts to preparing the kind of character he would want in a wife.
If he is so wonderful, then we should be worthy of his love.

Dear Editor:
On the front page of the last
issue of the Clarion, there was an
article about the Junior class
clothing drive.
The article was in one respect
true, inasmuch as the "warm"
clothes are still in the basement of
Edgren Residence. But you did
leave a lot unsaid and that is what
caused a misunderstanding. Al-most
everyone that I talked to
placed the blame of the Indians
being cold on the Junior class—
this is not true—the Junior class
has fulfilled their part of the
drive. The clothes are where they
told the mission board they would
be. Now we would again ask—why
don't the Indians have the "warm
clothes ?"

Action Taken
To Help Chapel
Action to eliminate announce-ments
in daily chapel has been
taken by the Student Senate in
the form of a weekly bulletin re-,
cording all activities of organiza-tions
for that week.
Letters were mailed this week
to all organizations informing
them of the proper procedures for
publication of their announce-ments.
A box marked "Activities'
Announcements" has been placed
in the hallway opposite the Stu-dent
Senate office.
All announcements must be plac-ed
in the box by 3 p.m., Wednes-day
of each week preceding the
publication date. This bulletin will
begin functioning next Monday,
February 28. Norris Magnuson,
president of the Student Senate,
expressed hope that the bulletin
may help to publicize all campus
activities more efficiently.

The Bethel Royals, avenging a
previous 79-75 defeat, creamed
Northwestern Schools by a con-vincing
80-62 margin, before a
packed out Founder's Week crowd.
The results of a united team ef-fort
began to show in the second
half. The Royals left the floor at
half-time with a 37-32 lead. How-ever,
at the start of the second
half, the Bethelmen upped their
margin and assumed complete
charge of the game. The Eagles
soon found it tough playing
defense against an offense that
sparkled due to excellent ball
handling by the entire team.
Once again the Bethel hit par-ade
was lead by Frank Burleson
and Bill Conrad. "Floating" Frank
plunked in 26 points with an as-sortment
of drive-ins, sets, and
free throws. Bill added 19 points
with a fine display of two-hand
set-shooting.
The only consistent scorer for
Northwestern was Thompson with
16 points.
Bemidji Scores
100 - 75 Victory
With a 57-point second half
splurge, Bemidji T. C. decisively
defeated Bethel 100-75 Feb. 11 at
Bemidji. The Beavers hit 26 field
goals in the second half in an
amazing exhibition of shooting
skill. After shooting an excep-tional
45% in the first half, they,
warmed up to the task and shot
successfully 65% of the time in
the second half. They consistently
maneuvered into position for a
good shot and capitalized on it.
The leading scorer for Bethel
was Conrad with 28 points. He
scored on a very fine percentage
of his shots. Rekstad broke out
of his scoring slump with 20 but
no other Royal hit consistently.
Despite good performances by
many of the players, Bethel's de-fense
proved no match for Bemi-dji's
high scoring machine.
Second Round
of Elimination
Begins Tomorrow
The first week of the double
elimination tournament found
Southern Minnesota, Northern
Minnesota, Chicago, and Mich.-
Wisc. seeded into the winners
bracket, by virtue of victories over
Iowa-Platte Valley, West, Illinois,
and East, respectively.
The games featured the top four
teams playing off against each
other, and likewise the bottom
four teams. The losing teams will
automatically be seeded into the
losers bracket.
Tomorrow's games feature Nor-thern
Minnesota versus Southern
Minnesota, and Mich.-Wisc. versus .
Chicago, at 10 a.m. Iowa-Platte
Valley aginst West, and East
versus Illinois complete the round,
at 11 a.m.
The individual scorer's in the
first round were paced by Chuck
"ole" Anderson, of Mich.-Wisc.,
with 23 points, and Jim MacFadyn
of East, with 20 points.
Despite a 41-point scoring spree
by Howie Rekstad, Hibbing J. C.
rolled to a well-earned 101-85 vic-tory
over Bethel Saturday, Feb.
19. Hibbing showed a well-bal-anced
team with especially fine
guards.
Bethel played a fine game, as
evidenced by statistics, and cer-tainly
would win many games with
a similar performance. In fact,
they hit 44r,4 of their shots which
is an unusually good mark. Hib-bing,
however, scored on more than
50% of their shots to nullify the
Royals' fine showing.
The main reason for the defeat
was a real lack of rebounding on
Bethel's part. Hibbing was getting
a second shot frequently and con-verted
on many of these chances.
Bethel would take the ball down,
get off a shot, and go back on
defense. Unofficially, Bethel clear-ed
23 rebounds to 40 for Hibbing.
The strange thing about it was
that Bethel had a height advan-tage
under the boards.
In the second half, Bethel's of-fense
was Rekstad as he poured
through 27 points. Conrad's fine
shooting in the first half drew
the defense away from the basket,
and, with the help of fine feeding,
Howie consistently either hit a
field goal or was fouled in the at-tempt.
In the preliminary game, the
Lake Park Baptist church team
avenged an early season defeat
to the B squad.

From The Stands
by Al Stahnke
Anyone for a game of checkers ? Or how about a strenuous game
of dominoes ?
There has been continuous talk of enlarging our athletic program
so we can gain revenge on Augsburg, have undefeated baseball teams,
and join the Minnesota College Conference. Perhaps it's about time we
face a greater problem — to provide athletic facilities for interested
students who do not play for intercollegiate teams. We have an inter-mural
program which gives men an opportunity to play football, basket-ball
and softball. But an expansion of this program is necessary. About
the only recreation women students get is shaking their corn poppers.
The situation could be greatly improved by a liberalization of policy
regarding use of the gym. Could we have the gym open once a week
for a game night?
It costs one dollar an hour to light the gym or, for one night a
week, about $35 per quarter. A small fee of 25 or 50 cents added to
each student's fee statement would handle the expense. Each week dif-ferent
sports such as badminton, volleyball, tumbling, wrestling and
basketball could be played.
The fieldhouse was built for every Bethel student. Why not allow
all of us to use it?

Openings In
Welfare Work
To Graduates
Sociology majors will have an
opportunity to take an examina-tion
for positions in the social
welfare fields on March 19 at the
Minnesota County Welfare Merit
System office. There are positions
open for students with a B.A.
degree under the title of Case-worker
I. Those who pass the ex-amination
would be qualified for
a beginning salary of $276 to
$375 in this field.
According to the welfare office,
chances for advancement in the
field are regular and opportunities
are wide open especially for those
who take additional graduate
work as they gain experience.
These positions are under Civil
Service.
Interested students should write
for application blanks for the ex-am
to Merit System Supervisor,
117 University Avenue, St. Paul 1,
Minnesota. Applications for this
exam and other higher level exams
which are being given, will be ac-cepted
by the office until March
11.
Junior Class
Chooses Cal
As Play Lead
Tryouts for the junior class
play, King Oedipus, to be given
April 15 were held last Tuesday
evening. Cal Peterson was selected
for the lead role of Oedipus.
Behind-the-scenes work falls on
John P. Woods, instructor of Eng-lish,
who is directing the play, Les
Funk, who is designing scenery,
Harold Richardson and Gloria
Svendsen, working with advertis-ing,
Phil Caldeen and Dave John-son,
in charge of staging, and
Donn Goss, handling finances.
King Oedipus, considered by
critics as one of the finest of its
kind, is "one more innovation to
the long list of new, good things
for Bethel this year" according to
Phil Caldeen and Dave Johnson.
"We want to make this the best
production Bethel has ever seen,"
affirmed Dave and Phil, "but
there's lots to be done and only
two months in which to do it. If
there are any who would like to
help on stage crew or similar

Details Finished
For Senior Concert
All of the last minute details have been taken care of for the pre-sentation
of "The Carillon Singers" at the annual senior class concert
scheduled for March 5, 8 p.m. Under the direction of Edith Norberg,
the singers will feature Lorraine King, harpist, and Adelyne Johnson,
contralto.
"The admission is a steal at 75
cents per ticket," claimed Bailey
Anderson, senior in charge of the
concert's committee.
Posters have been hung in sev-eral
locations on campus, ticket
sellers have been designated, and
even letters have been mailed to
Twin City churches inviting
them, as well as neighboring col-leges,
to take advantage of the
concert.
The singers recently won the
Chicagoland Music Festival for the
second time and have done out-standing
radio and television work
as well. Lorraine King is harpist
with the Minneapolis Symphony
Orchestra and Adelyne Johnson
has appeared as soloist with the
symphony.
"With all the outstanding talent
listed for the concert," says Mar-ilyn
Anderson, senior on the com-mittee,
"we think it'll be one of
the greatest senior concerts Bethel
has ever had!"
Shown above, displaying advertising posters for concert, are seniors Marilyn Anderson
and Bailey Anderson. The posters were designed by two other seniors, Barbara Olander and Lawrence
Van Heerden.

The Next Student President
In all her history Bethel has never had a college senior as president
of the student body. Maybe this has been accidental—maybe deliberate.
Nevertheless, it's almost time for student elections, and it would be
another '54-'55 innovation if a college junior were elected to be president
for next year.
Maybe some have felt that only seminary students should be elect-ed
because they would tend to cultivate a greater spiritual atmosphere.
Actually, there are college students who bear as much spiritual impact
to the college body as any seminary student.
It could be that the previous presidents just happened to be sem-inary
students too. That's fine! It's not wrong to have seminary leaders
for college students, but it just might be better to be led by other
members of the undergraduate body if you're in that group. The sem-inary
has its own council, but the Student Senate, the representative
group of the college, is not separate from the seminary.
Perhaps this spring, when elections roll around, we could push one
or two juniors for president and several future seminary students rather
than the opposite.
The Wreck of Oedipus
The junior class play has held auditions for parts, and now the
grueling task of memorization and the application of drama technique
is under way. But a handicap to overcome is the actual production of
the play. Where will they produce it and how ?
Bethel has no auditorium to supply amply the needs presented in
play production. This is not entirely her fault because a suitable audi-torium
is in the offing of a long range program and
just hasn't been acquired yet. But Bethel could do well with some type
of an emergency auditorium to facilitate immediate needs for plays,
concerts, and other student productions.
Just a possibility might be some rennovating in the back part of
the chapel. It surely wouldn't take much expense to convert the platform
back there into a convenient little stage with small wings on either
side with a make-shift curtain. The space would require about. 20 chapel
seats, or less, which are available on the floor level by seats seldom
filled. Maybe some senior class would even donate the expense of
the work as a class project!
"Softies" at Bethel
"We never get off this lousy block."
"Yes," another voice said, "we don't get a chance to really go out
and tell people what we believe. How can we really try our beliefs if—"
A third voice broke in, "We go on gospel teams, but we aren't
on our own; we've still got our group behind us."
"How can we learn to deal with people in front of a group any-way
?"
A number of Bethel students are troubled by this problem and
others like it. How can we grow in faith if we are spoon-fed Christian-ity
? Or is Christianity merely in style ? Are we letting ourselves be
caught up in the Christian current, drifting aimlessly along, not sink-ing
or swimming, just floating?
These are real dangers, and we have to face them as individuals.
In high school and at work we struggled to keep from going with the
ungodly crowd. In our tight little Christian community we get soft
and careless from living with our guard down. How often, for example,
we talk among ourselves in a way we would be ashamed to have out-siders
hear. And how little Christ comes into our conversation. We ac-cept
the standards of the crowd for our studying, our dating, the use
of our time and money.
One thing we can do even while cooped up on this block is to
stand on our own feet morally and spiritually. Then when we get away
again from the shelter of Bethel's walls and face hostility and indiffer-ence,
we will be equipped to stand against the crowd and testify to
our faith with a good conscience.

Things are beginning to look black for many, with only sixteen
days until exams. If I had not the positive attitude about them, I
would really feel guilty about having wasted all my time in "riotous
living."
Yes, I should say that things look good. People might say that
I am a cheat but that is such a strong word—let's say I take tests
with a broad view. (Sometimes my view is so broad that I strain my
neck muscles.) In so doing, I do not wish to make less of my school-mates'
knowledge; I only wish to reveal their intelligence and ability
in my work as well. Now can there be any fairer way?
It also gives my dear schoolmates an opportunity to prove their
"share-it-able-ness." After all, it isn't the help that counts, it's the
grade. And we all want high standards. So a little kindness at the
right question is one step higher up the ladder in the establishment
of character. Then think of 'the invaluable experience we get for filling
out income tax forms. Now can there be any nobler way ?
When I think of those first few weeks at the beginning of school
and how I sweated and toiled . . . brrr. But then I discovered that there
is a sort of silent honor system around here and zoom! My old art of
reading small and upside down print soared back to top form. Now can
there be any handier way ?
Then to my amazement, I discovered some other kids who were
interested in progress just as I was—progress in girls (or fellows as
the case might be), Scrabble, Rook, Pingpong, Coke bottle bowling,
Greco-Roman wrestling, wee hour jabber sessions—the better things
in life. So as the old saying goes, "Old cheaters never die, they just
pass it on." And we're just one big happy family.

Every girl wants to be marriageable. But if she wants a husband
who has high standards for a wife, it takes a lot of consideration and
planning.
It was, of course, hard for me to know what a fellow considers
important about the girl he is going to spend the rest of his life with.
I decided to ask a few of the fellows whom I considered sincere and
thoughtful. I asked them what they wanted their wife to be, and what
would attract them to "the girl." They answered along the same general
lines.
"She must have a sense of humor," one fellow said. "When you live
with a woman for fifty years, more or less, even less, she must have
a sense of humor."
Anothei fellow added that besides being able to joke, she must
know when to talk seriously, too. She must be one you can talk to
without feeling uneasy.
They all wanted her to be witty, but she should use her wit
considerately. She should be well-read so that she could talk intelligently
about a variety of topics. None of the fellows wanted a female Michael-angelo.
This is only a small phase of what a fellow expects in a wife, but
doesn't this show us what our attitude should be when we meet "the
fellow ?" Instead of getting upset wondering when he will pay some
attention to us, or if he is the one the Lord has for us, let's devote our
thoughts to preparing the kind of character he would want in a wife.
If he is so wonderful, then we should be worthy of his love.

Dear Editor:
On the front page of the last
issue of the Clarion, there was an
article about the Junior class
clothing drive.
The article was in one respect
true, inasmuch as the "warm"
clothes are still in the basement of
Edgren Residence. But you did
leave a lot unsaid and that is what
caused a misunderstanding. Al-most
everyone that I talked to
placed the blame of the Indians
being cold on the Junior class—
this is not true—the Junior class
has fulfilled their part of the
drive. The clothes are where they
told the mission board they would
be. Now we would again ask—why
don't the Indians have the "warm
clothes ?"

Action Taken
To Help Chapel
Action to eliminate announce-ments
in daily chapel has been
taken by the Student Senate in
the form of a weekly bulletin re-,
cording all activities of organiza-tions
for that week.
Letters were mailed this week
to all organizations informing
them of the proper procedures for
publication of their announce-ments.
A box marked "Activities'
Announcements" has been placed
in the hallway opposite the Stu-dent
Senate office.
All announcements must be plac-ed
in the box by 3 p.m., Wednes-day
of each week preceding the
publication date. This bulletin will
begin functioning next Monday,
February 28. Norris Magnuson,
president of the Student Senate,
expressed hope that the bulletin
may help to publicize all campus
activities more efficiently.

THE CLARION
Friday, February 25, 1955
The Bethel Royals, avenging a
previous 79-75 defeat, creamed
Northwestern Schools by a con-vincing
80-62 margin, before a
packed out Founder's Week crowd.
The results of a united team ef-fort
began to show in the second
half. The Royals left the floor at
half-time with a 37-32 lead. How-ever,
at the start of the second
half, the Bethelmen upped their
margin and assumed complete
charge of the game. The Eagles
soon found it tough playing
defense against an offense that
sparkled due to excellent ball
handling by the entire team.
Once again the Bethel hit par-ade
was lead by Frank Burleson
and Bill Conrad. "Floating" Frank
plunked in 26 points with an as-sortment
of drive-ins, sets, and
free throws. Bill added 19 points
with a fine display of two-hand
set-shooting.
The only consistent scorer for
Northwestern was Thompson with
16 points.
Bemidji Scores
100 - 75 Victory
With a 57-point second half
splurge, Bemidji T. C. decisively
defeated Bethel 100-75 Feb. 11 at
Bemidji. The Beavers hit 26 field
goals in the second half in an
amazing exhibition of shooting
skill. After shooting an excep-tional
45% in the first half, they,
warmed up to the task and shot
successfully 65% of the time in
the second half. They consistently
maneuvered into position for a
good shot and capitalized on it.
The leading scorer for Bethel
was Conrad with 28 points. He
scored on a very fine percentage
of his shots. Rekstad broke out
of his scoring slump with 20 but
no other Royal hit consistently.
Despite good performances by
many of the players, Bethel's de-fense
proved no match for Bemi-dji's
high scoring machine.
Second Round
of Elimination
Begins Tomorrow
The first week of the double
elimination tournament found
Southern Minnesota, Northern
Minnesota, Chicago, and Mich.-
Wisc. seeded into the winners
bracket, by virtue of victories over
Iowa-Platte Valley, West, Illinois,
and East, respectively.
The games featured the top four
teams playing off against each
other, and likewise the bottom
four teams. The losing teams will
automatically be seeded into the
losers bracket.
Tomorrow's games feature Nor-thern
Minnesota versus Southern
Minnesota, and Mich.-Wisc. versus .
Chicago, at 10 a.m. Iowa-Platte
Valley aginst West, and East
versus Illinois complete the round,
at 11 a.m.
The individual scorer's in the
first round were paced by Chuck
"ole" Anderson, of Mich.-Wisc.,
with 23 points, and Jim MacFadyn
of East, with 20 points.
Despite a 41-point scoring spree
by Howie Rekstad, Hibbing J. C.
rolled to a well-earned 101-85 vic-tory
over Bethel Saturday, Feb.
19. Hibbing showed a well-bal-anced
team with especially fine
guards.
Bethel played a fine game, as
evidenced by statistics, and cer-tainly
would win many games with
a similar performance. In fact,
they hit 44r,4 of their shots which
is an unusually good mark. Hib-bing,
however, scored on more than
50% of their shots to nullify the
Royals' fine showing.
The main reason for the defeat
was a real lack of rebounding on
Bethel's part. Hibbing was getting
a second shot frequently and con-verted
on many of these chances.
Bethel would take the ball down,
get off a shot, and go back on
defense. Unofficially, Bethel clear-ed
23 rebounds to 40 for Hibbing.
The strange thing about it was
that Bethel had a height advan-tage
under the boards.
In the second half, Bethel's of-fense
was Rekstad as he poured
through 27 points. Conrad's fine
shooting in the first half drew
the defense away from the basket,
and, with the help of fine feeding,
Howie consistently either hit a
field goal or was fouled in the at-tempt.
In the preliminary game, the
Lake Park Baptist church team
avenged an early season defeat
to the B squad.

From The Stands
by Al Stahnke
Anyone for a game of checkers ? Or how about a strenuous game
of dominoes ?
There has been continuous talk of enlarging our athletic program
so we can gain revenge on Augsburg, have undefeated baseball teams,
and join the Minnesota College Conference. Perhaps it's about time we
face a greater problem — to provide athletic facilities for interested
students who do not play for intercollegiate teams. We have an inter-mural
program which gives men an opportunity to play football, basket-ball
and softball. But an expansion of this program is necessary. About
the only recreation women students get is shaking their corn poppers.
The situation could be greatly improved by a liberalization of policy
regarding use of the gym. Could we have the gym open once a week
for a game night?
It costs one dollar an hour to light the gym or, for one night a
week, about $35 per quarter. A small fee of 25 or 50 cents added to
each student's fee statement would handle the expense. Each week dif-ferent
sports such as badminton, volleyball, tumbling, wrestling and
basketball could be played.
The fieldhouse was built for every Bethel student. Why not allow
all of us to use it?
